TaperMed is a simple, easy to use, mobile app designed to assist with tracking and notifying when a medication dosage is to change based upon a taper schedule.

Background

TaperMed came about initially as a personal project in 2015 with an initial goal to:

  • Simplify tracking a medication dosage taper
  • Provide the current dosage
  • Provide the next date when the dosage is to decrease

This began as a simple python script to populate a spreadsheet and later evolved to a personal challenge to learn about Android mobile app development.

As with most things in life, the app portion of the challenge decreased in priority as my personal need for tracking went away as I had successfully completed the medication taper schedule I was on. Recently, I had stumbled upon the old code and decided to finish the project.

Features

  • Support for multiple medications
  • Notifications for when the dosage changes
  • The ability to pause/resume a taper schedule
  • The ability to adjust your taper schedule
  • A simple report to display the full taper schedule breakdown including each date for dosage decrease and final date
  • Material 3 Design support
